Sydney's Song
I watch you in my mind
Reaching out across the spirit line
And I lay down on the floor
Searching for the answer
And I wonder if you’re somewhere up there
Wishing you were still here
Cause I wish you were still here
And the sun still shines even though you’re not here
And the flowers still bloom; They have nothing to fear
But I, I have everything to fear
Cause your mouth doesn’t laugh
And your eyes they don’t shine
And I hear you crying
But I can’t be there this time
Can’t write you a line
So here’s a li-------ne
I mi—ss you
I see you in my mind
Crying out the daily grind
You said nobody’s listening and nobody hears
So I sit you down and I wipe off your tears
I wipe off your tears.
Cause the sun still shines even though you’re not here
And the flowers still bloom; They have nothing to fear
But I, I have everything to fear
Cause your mouth doesn’t laugh
And your eyes they don’t shine
And I hear you crying
But I can’t be there this time
Can’t write you a line
So here’s a li-------ne
I miss you
And you said I showed you what compassion feels like,
But you ran away in the middle of the night,
And no I can’t chase you, can’t up this fight
No, no, no, no
So here’s to your life
Here’s to your friends
Here’s to the tree that you helped begin
Here’s to your life
Here’s to your light
Here’s to your heart cause it never dies
Cause the sun still shines even though you’re not here
And the flowers still bloom; They have nothing to fear
But I, I have everything to fear
Cause your mouth doesn’t laugh
And your eyes they don’t shine
And I hear you crying
But I can’t be there this time
Can’t write you a line
So here’s a li-------ne
I miss you
Sydney, I miss you

I lost a friend to suicide in September. It's been really hard, but I've found that music has helped me in dealing with it a lot. This is a song I wrote for her. I hope that it can touch someone, maybe help them through a loss or feel less alone.
